    My Scholarship entry - Madeira

    In its area of 8 hundred square kilometres, Madeira has over 100 tunnels. Together with the highways it results in a massive 140km network with a cost of 1814,6 million euros. This investment came manly from European funds, and has naturally cause many polemic discussions about the management of such funds.

    I think you have made an error in the area of Madeira. 8 hundred square metres is about the area of five average houses! Madeira is 740.7 square kilometres (that's 3.62 BILLION square metres!
